TCS Placement Papers 2025 - Actual Questions & Solutions

This section contains real questions from TCS NQT 2025 based on candidate experiences from GeeksforGeeks, PrepInsta, and interview forums.

Numerical Ability Questions (2025)

Question 1: Simple Interest

Q1: A sum of money amounts to ₹9800 after 5 years and ₹12005 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. Find the rate of interest per annum.

Solution:

Let Principal = P, Rate = R%

After 5 years: P + (P × R × 5)/100 = 9800 After 8 years: P + (P × R × 8)/100 = 12005

Subtracting: (P × R × 3)/100 = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

P × R = 73500

From first equation: P + (73500 × 5)/100 = 9800 P + 3675 = 9800 P = 6125

Rate R = 73500/6125 = 12% per annum

Answer: 12% per annum

Question 2: Mixtures and Alligations

Q2: A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 5:3. If 10 liters of water is added, the ratio becomes 5:4. Find the quantity of milk in the mixture.

Solution:

Let milk = 5x, water = 3x

After adding 10 liters water: Milk = 5x, Water = 3x + 10

Ratio: 5x/(3x + 10) = 5/4 20x = 5(3x + 10) 20x = 15x + 50 5x = 50 x = 10

Quantity of milk = 5x = 5 × 10 = 50 liters

Answer: 50 liters

Question 3: Data Interpretation

Q3: The following table shows sales (in crores) of a company over 5 years. Find the average annual growth rate.

Year	Sales
2020	100
2021	120
2022	150
2023	180
2024	200

Solution:

Total growth = 200 - 100 = 100 crores Number of years = 4 (from 2020 to 2024) Average annual growth = 100/4 = 25 crores per year

Answer: 25 crores per year

Reasoning Ability Questions (2025)

Question 4: Blood Relations

Q4: Pointing to a man, a woman said, “His mother is the only daughter of my mother.” How is the woman related to the man?

Solution:

Let’s break down the statement:

• “His mother” = the man’s mother
• “only daughter of my mother” = the woman herself (since she’s the only daughter)

So: The man’s mother = the woman Therefore, the woman is the mother of the man.

Answer: Mother

Question 5: Series Completion

Q5: Find the next number in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Solution:

Pattern analysis:

• 2 = 1 × 2
• 6 = 2 × 3
• 12 = 3 × 4
• 20 = 4 × 5
• 30 = 5 × 6

Next term = 6 × 7 = 42

Answer: 42

Coding Problems (2025)

Question 6: Array Rotation

Q6: Rotate an array to the right by k positions.

Problem Statement: Given an array, rotate it to the right by k steps.

Example:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], k = 3
Output: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

Solution (Java):

public void rotate(int[] nums, int k) {
    int n = nums.length;
    k = k % n;

    reverse(nums, 0, n - 1);
    reverse(nums, 0, k - 1);
    reverse(nums, k, n - 1);
}

private void reverse(int[] nums, int start, int end) {
    while (start < end) {
        int temp = nums[start];
        nums[start] = nums[end];
        nums[end] = temp;
        start++;
        end--;
    }
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Question 7: Palindrome Check

Q7: Check if a number is palindrome.

Problem Statement: Given a number, determine if it is a palindrome.

Example:

Input: 121
Output: true

Solution (Java):

public boolean isPalindrome(int x) {
    if (x < 0) return false;

    int original = x;
    int reversed = 0;

    while (x > 0) {
        reversed = reversed * 10 + x % 10;
        x /= 10;
    }

    return original == reversed;
}

Time Complexity: O(log n)
Space Complexity: O(1)
